Neil Campbell (Scottish Gaelic: Niall Caimbeul) (died c. 1613 or 1627) was the son of Alexander, son of the parson [MacPherson] ("Alasdair mac a' Phearsain"), a member of the Campbells of Carnassarie.
[1] He is probably the Nigellus Campbell who graduated from the University of St Andrews in 1575 as Master of Arts.
[1] The Neil Campbell who was recorded as the parson of Kilmartin and precentor of Lismore Cathedral in 1574 is probably him too.
[1] In March 1588, he examined witnesses in a civil dispute on behalf of the Privy Council, and in the following year the Privy Council placed him in charge of the commission against catholics in Argyll; in August of that year (i.e. 1589), the Moderator of the General Assembly, Patrick Galloway, appointed Neil as one of the Assembly's assessors.
[1] He married Christine,[3] daughter of John Carswell, Bishop of the Isles and his predecessor as parson of Kilmartin.
